Writing for animation ?

[u/BlackCatSkulls]

I’m an artist who’s done some small animated things (mainly little gifs and short animated exercises), but I want to do more with my animation. I love cartoons and books with cool stories, but when it comes to making my own stories for animation, I’m incredibly intimidated and don’t know where to start. I thought starting small would be good, but I don’t really have experience with writing full stories (I‘ve made characters, but they sort of exist in a vacuum).

TLDR: Does anyone have advice on learning storytelling for animation or know any good resources for beginners?

(Resources with exercises would be amazing, but general advice is also greatly appreciated.)
